This can be determined by referring to Fig. 5-Ic and equating the sum of the moments of the rectangular area (AFCD in Fig. 5-Ic) and of the quarter-circular area (ABF in Fig. 5-Ic) about a vertical line through point B to the moment of the total area about the same line. (x){(8)(4) + 2 )(4)"/4] = [(8)(4)](S) + [)C4Y/4][4)(4)/ Ga), x = 1.91 fe. (This is the distance from point B to the line of action of the vertical component.) Solve Prob. 5.1 for the same given conditions except that water is on the other side of curved surface AB, as shown in Fig. 5-2. I Ifnecessary, refer to the solution of Prob. 5.1 for a more detailed explanation of the general procedure for solving this type of problem. p = Pave = (y)[(A1 + h2)/2] = (62.4)[(8 + 12)/2] = 624 Ib/ft?, A = (6)(4) = 24 f°, Fy = pA = (624)(24) = 14 980 Ib. The vertical component (F,) is equal to the weight of the imaginary volume of water vertically above surface AB. Hence, Fy = [(4)(8) + (7)(4)"/4](6)(62.4) = 16 690 Ib. The location of the horizontal component is 10.13 ft below the water surface (same as in Prob. 5.1 except that F, acts toward the left). The location of the vertical component is 1.91 ft from point B (same as in Prob. 5.1 except that Fy acts upward), rT roa ao == % Fig. 5-2 ‘The submerged sector gate AB shown in Fig. 5-32 is one-sixth of a circle of radius 6 m. The length of the gate is 10m. Determine the amount and location of the horizontal and vertical components of the total resultant force acting on the gate. I fnecessary, refer to the solution of Prob. 5.1 for a more detailed explanation of the general procedure for solving this type of problem. Refer to Fig. 5-36. Fy, = yhA = (9.79){(0-+ 5.196)/2][(10)(5.196)] = 1322 KN, Areasnc = ateaacan + afedgno ~ ateaano = (5.196)(3) + (3.000)(5.196)/2 — (7)(6)*/6 = 4.532 m°, Fy = (area,nc)(length of gate)(y) = (4.532)(10)(9.79) = 444 KN. The location of the horizontal component (Fi) is along a (horizontal) line 5.196/3, or 1.732 m above the bottom of the gate (A). The location of the vertical component (F,) is along a (vertical) line through the center of gravity of section ABC. Taking area moments about AC, 4.532r = [(5.196)(3)](3) + {(4)(G.000)(5.196)](3 + 3.000/3) [()(6)7/6]{6 — [cos (60°/2)](2)(6)/}, x=0.842m. Fig. 5-3(a)
